[R] Calculating proportions from a data frame rather than a table

[Farrel Buchinsky]

Incidentally, the feature becomes really powerful when one uses
functions such as addmargins together with prop.table as in

coinf.table <-as.matrix(coinfection)
prop.table(coinf.table,1) # to see proportions from each HPV type per study
addmargins(coinf.table)# to  see totals within study and accross all studies
prop.table(addmargins(coinf.table,1),1)# to see proportions for all
studies added together
